Can I get AIDS from tattooing?

Obviously there are some concerns about the dangers of this disease, you need to understand that this disease is spread through intimate contact with body fluids, blood, and semen
In the manufacture of tattoo to avoid diseases such as disease or other diseases you have to consider whether the instrument used for tattooing has been cleaned before
In this disease most infections occur in drug users, usually in IDUs, where they enter the drug in a syringe and injected in their bodies and each took turns
But it is different in tattoo art, but even so, to avoid the things we do not want us to be vigilant, notice that the needles that will be used has been used before, would not it have been used
Make sure the tattoo tool has been free from germs
Make sure after you have you been tattooed by artisans briefed the tattoo, and make sure the results of your tattoo is covered by protected from all ills

The Scottish Thistle Meaning

The Scottish thistle is the national emblem of Scotland for more than 500 years.

Legend of the Scottish thistle tells us that long ago when the Danes invaded Scotland by surprise, wearing no shoes and in the dark, one of them stepped on a thistle, cried out and alerted the Scots and prevented a terrible slaughter. The grateful Scots adopted the thistle as a symbol of their nation, and it became known as “The Guardian Thistle”. Sadly, there is no historical evidence to back up the tale.

Whatever its origins, the thistle is one of the most important Scottish symbols.

Fifth Station--The Cross is Laid on Simon of Cyrene


(From The Stations of the Cross, Duccio de Buonensegna, 1308-1311)

Fifth Station: The Cross is Laid on Simon of Cyrene

Leader: O holy Christ, we worship you, we adore you;
People: A stranger unwillingly came to your aid and his life was changed.

Simon of Cyrene was merely a bystander in that rough crowd. As Jesus struggled, the soldiers knew he would need aid carrying his cross. Their eyes scanned the crowd. Simon's eyes looked downward. "Please don't choose me," he thought. "I have nothing to do with this. I merely came in from the country for Passover. Please, Lord. Not me." But perhaps it was his unwilling posture that caught their eye, and they dragged him out to carry Jesus' cross.

As his eyes met those of Jesus, Simon could suddenly see the pain of a broken world in Christ's countenance. From the center of his battered face, unquenchable eyes shone. From that moment, Simon unquestionably carried Jesus' cross.

Leader: Simon of Cyrene had no cross of his own to take up
People: So instead he willingly bore the cross of another.

Leader: Let us pray.
(a brief period of silence is observed.)

Holy God,
You come to us when we do not want you to appear.
You ask us to carry the crosses of others
When we do not desire to even carry our own.
Grant us the courage to carry those crosses
even when we would rather someone else do it.
Grant us the ability to see the privilege in being chosen to serve others.
Fill our hardened hearts
with the ability to serve our God,
even when we are feeling unwilling and unworthy to serve you.

People: Amen.

Holy God,
Holy and Mighty,
Holy immortal one,
Have mercy on us.

Dragon Tattoo

Dragons are the mysterious creatures, usually represented as monstrous, winged and scaly serpents, with enormous claws and a crested head. The word ‘dragon’ is derived from the Latin and French words for the Greek ‘drakwu’. The term is connected with ‘derkomai’ for ‘see’ and interpreted as ‘sharp sighted’. The depictions of dragons have been incredibly complex and diverse, over the years. No

Can I get infectious diseases from tattoo needles?

There are some concerns recently about the spread of disease (especially
Hepatitis-B and AIDS [HIV])
To consider whether a clean environment you been tattooed?
Are needles used for tattooing reused on other customers? If so you should avoid tattoos in these places
Because the spread of the disease in the activities of the tattoo depends on the cleanliness and needles used
Make sure they use needles only for single-use
And in case you should also consider the Hepatitis-B immunization
So better safe than not..
